I read a book called "The Rifle" by Garry Paulsen. You should all read it. It is about a guy who builds this really really really fine accurate muzzleloader and about the muzzleloader and it's different owners. In the book a soldier used it in the Revoultionary war. He died with a load in the rifle. No one knew it was loaded.200 years later a guy had it above his fireplace. Then a spark got in the pan and the gun went off and killed a guy! I think this is a fiction story though. You should all read it. It is for young adults though but still a good book.
